Gluten-free breakfast recipes

Morning Glory Muffins

Filled with carrots, raisins, walnuts, and sunflower seeds, morning glory muffins pack enough fiber to keep you full until lunchtime. Make a batch at the beginning of the week, and warm one up for breakfast every morning.

Blueberry-Lemon Poppyseed Muffins

These almond flour–based muffins taste like a cross between classic blueberry and lemon poppyseed. Each bite bursts with fresh fruit flavor.

Homemade Instant Oatmeal

Make your own oatmeal mix by combining gluten-free rolled oats, dried fruit, spices, and chopped nuts and seeds and storing the combination in an airtight container. For oatmeal in a flash, just pour in hot water!

Apple Pie Overnight Oats

It sounds weird, but leaving oats soaking in liquid overnight “cooks” them to a smooth consistency. In this easy recipe, the addition of crisp apples and sweet juice, fall spices, and a touch of honey makes breakfast almost taste like dessert.

Baked Eggs in Tomato Cups

Eggs in Purgatory

Haven’t tried shakshuka before? You’ve got to make it. Top a spicy sauce of tomatoes and bell peppers with eggs and feta, and bake for a sizzling dish that wows at breakfast, brunch, or lunch.

Paleo Chicken Nuggets

Sometimes, you just have to throw it back to the good old days. When you’re craving a childhood favorite, whip up gluten-free chicken nuggets and reminisce about all those trips to Mickey D’s for Happy Meals.

Gluten-Free Fish Sticks

The ingenious coating for wheat-free fish sticks? A potato chip and cornflake mixture that sounds odd, but tastes seriously amazing.

Kale Caesar Salad

First, massage kale with oil and salt to tenderize the leaves. Then, top them with crispy bacon, buttery avocado, and salty salad dressing for a new twist on the classic caesar.

Salmon Niçoise Salad

Take a bunch of butter lettuce, garden-fresh veggies, hard-boiled eggs, and salmon, and drizzle it all with a briny green olive vinaigrette. Voila, niçoise salad for lunch!

These veggie spring rolls are basically a salad … just one wrapped in rice paper and dipped in creamy cilantro-lime dressing.

Gluten-free dinner recipes

Carrots, sweet potato, and lentils form the base of this hearty soup. Top it with a swirl of coconut milk and a sprinkle of cilantro for a totally Instagrammable meal.

Detoxifying Green Soup

Here’s a new way to get your greens: in a verdant soup of broccoli, watercress, kale, and parsley.

Poached Cod in Tomato Sauce

Turkey-Sage Meatballs With Spaghetti Squash

Roasted Eggplant Curry

The great thing about Indian cuisine? Other than naan, almost all of it is Celiac-friendly. We love this smoky vegetarian curry alongside rice and yogurt sauce.

Yellow Curry With Rainbow Vegetables

This colorful yellow curry with purple cauliflower, yellow bell pepper, orange carrots, and fresh greens is springtime in a bowl.

Dark Chocolate–Rosemary Tart

This GF tart looks incredibly elegant, but doesn’t require any complicated techniques or equipment. Rosemary not only adds dimension to the dark chocolate filling, but also balances out the earthy flavor of the walnut crush.

Tahini-Pear Cake

Salty tahini and aromatic Bosc pears come together beautifully in the form of a simple tea cake.

Brown Rice Pudding With Caramelized Pineapple

Sure, cooking the pudding takes some time, but it’s as simple as giving it a stir every few minutes. Take the opportunity to respond to emails or catch up on reading!

Madeleines might look fancy, but they’re essentially just cakey cookies baked in a special mold. To speed up the process, make the dough ahead of time and store in the fridge until you’re ready to bake.

Hazelnut–Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Using hazelnut flour in these cookies adds tons of nutty flavor and keeps them gluten-free.
